“When someone you love walks through the door, even if it happens five times a day, you should go totally insane with joy.”
- David Dudley
Every rescue dog has a story. I’m humbled to share a few with you.

Meet Priscilla Louise. She was found in a box beside the highway in Arkadelphia when she was about 10 weeks old and taken to the Clarke County Animal Shelter where she was named Sugar. On January 4, 2003, when “Sugar” was 14 weeks old, she was adopted by Rennie Karnovich, and renamed Priscilla Louise.
If it weren’t for this book, I wouldn’t have Champ. My bowlegged little man had a rough start at life. He had a home, but not a good one.
She was only about 5 weeks old and couldn't walk on her front paws. She was surrendered to Searcy Animal Services by a woman that claimed the mother had been hit by a car. Searcy Animal Services didn't have the funds for Pearl's treatment so they reached out to Rock City Rescue, who immediately agreed to help. I contacted Rock City Rescue after seeing the Facebook post and picked her up that night. I named her Pearl.
As many who have rescued dogs can attest, canine rescues human as much as human rescues canine. I can say this with authority, because I owe life as I know it to a couple of rescue pups. Rescue dogs led me to meet my husband, Patrick. If I had never rescued Rascal, I wouldn’t have met Patrick and his rescue lab, Jake, at the dog park.
THE PHOTOS ARE LOVELY. THE ACCOMPANYING STORIES SHOW BOTH SIDES OF HUMAN NATURE (THE BAD AND THE GOOD) AND THE ESSENCE OF CANINE NATURE: A CAPACITY FOR UNSELFISH LOVE, EVEN AFTER MISTREATMENT. THIS WAS THE BEST CHRISTMAS PRESENT I GOT. - ROSS MARLAY
